Help Us Preserve Italian American Gardening Heritage

The Italian Garden Project invites local and national businesses to join us in preserving the stories, seeds, and gardens that define Italian American heritage. Your sponsorship directly supports our documentation, educational programs, and heritage collections — ensuring these living traditions continue to inspire future generations.
